One thing I already do to help manage my course load is by using an app on my phone called iStudiez Pro. It allows me to add all of my assignments and see a list of what all is due. I can also mark them as complete and add what grade I received which then calculates my current grade in the class. It is extremely helpful to have all my class work, exams, and personal calendar all in one place.
I read "The Psychology of Checklists" and "4 Questions to Help You Overcome Procrastination." I personally am horrible about procrastinating. I do it all the time and no matter how hard I try I always wait to the last minute. The article about procrastinating made me realize that I am not doing my best work when I wait. I would definitely not feel as stressed if I did things early; I plan on doing that with this class. Right at this moment I am trying to get ahead and not wait till this assignment is due. The other article about the checklists is definitely true. In a way I already do that with the app I have previously mentioned cause I get to check off every assignment I finish, which subtracts one from the counter of how many assignments I have left for the next seven days.
